Fleetworthy launches open compliance APIs to streamline fleet safety and regulatory reporting
Fleetworthy recently launched Compliance Open APIs that give enterprise fleets programmatic access to CPSuite compliance data across safety, asset, and driver workflows. The company also expanded CPSuite reporting, added stopped vehicle alerts through Drivewyze Safety+, and extended its Smart Roadways safety alerts network to New Mexico, Alaska, and Maryland.
“Enterprise fleets need compliance data to move freely across systems, not live in silos,” David Long, Fleetworthy VP of product, said. “Our Compliance Open APIs make it easier to unify compliance data, scale operations, and maintain continuous audit readiness as fleets grow.”
New API endpoints support report management, asset data syncing, and driver qualification records to reduce manual processes and improve audit readiness. The Smart Roadways expansion brings real-time in-cab alerts to 24 states, delivering slowdown, congestion, and roadway warnings to drivers through Drivewyze Free. Read more…
DAT integrates Convoy Platform with AscendTMS to automate freight brokerage workflows
DAT Freight & Analytics recently integrated its Convoy Platform with InMotion Global’s AscendTMS for small and midsized freight brokers. The integration enables brokers to access a vetted carrier network and automate load posting, booking, tracking, documentation, and payment directly within AscendTMS.
“Brokers are operating on tighter margins while navigating increasing fraud risk,” Bill Driegert, EVP, Convoy Platform, at DAT, said. “This integration provides AscendTMS users with the advanced freight automation and fraud-protection technology they need without a change in workflow or upfront investment.”
The integration uses a pay-as-you-go model with no upfront costs or monthly minimums, allowing brokers to pay only for completed loads. AscendTMS brokers can activate the Convoy Platform integration regardless of whether they are DAT customers. Read more…
PlusAI reports progress toward factory-built autonomous trucks for commercial freight routes
PlusAI recently provided an update on its commercial readiness metrics, reporting gains in safety case readiness, autonomous miles percentage, and remote assistance free trips as it advances toward factory-built autonomous truck deployment.
“Our performance on the safety case readiness and remote assistance free trips metrics demonstrates that SuperDrive is advancing toward commercial readiness,” David Liu, CEO and co-founder of PlusAI, said. “Safety and system maturity, as well as operational efficiency, are foundational requirements for deploying factory-built autonomous trucks at scale. We continue to make consistent, measurable progress on both as we get closer to our planned 2027 commercial launch.”
The company reported safety case readiness at 90.1%, autonomous miles percentage at 99.2%, and remote assistance free trips at 79.0%. PlusAI plans factory-level integration with OEM partners and initial deployment in the Texas Triangle, with expansion into additional U.S. and European freight corridors. Read more…
